Etsy Love - I dream of picnics

My
Etsy love list this week is inspired by the changing season.. But not
the season here in Houston, I am lusting after the season back in Perth.
Spring is easily the most beautiful time of year in Perth. The mornings
are crisp, clear and fresh, then the days warm up to sunny afternoons
perfect for laying in the grass at Kings Park or sitting out on a
balcony with a beer. Bliss...

..Okay,
I got distracted there. This weeks love list is all about picnics. Take
a look and get inspired.. And then go outside and get some fresh air!

I am a child of
the Eighties. And when I saw this, I immediately went back to picnics in
the park at Shakespeare Regional Park, on the Whangaparaoa Peninsular
(its amazing).. I LOVE this set - my Mum had all these pieces! Oh, and I
just adore the store name!

Of course you
need a super sweet picnic basket to carry everything in. There are so
many neat vintage ones on Etsy.. But this one caught my eye. It looks a
lot like the basket we used in our wedding photos! And the two wine
bottle carriers are essential!

So, this may not
work for an off the cuff, spontaneous picnic, but if you are having a
get together in the park.. Why not string up some bunting? You can check
my tutorial for making bunting here.. Or check out the store below.. It is no secret that I LOVE bunting!
